Moving into a new job always involves some degree of uncertainty. One of more of these eleven warning signs, if present, may spell trouble.

The perception we have of ourselves and the world is shaped by our need for stability and security in our lives. Driven by our need to survive both as a body and as a person we default to a perception of change as being threatening and frightening. Of course, if we remain as we are we cannot grow beyond our self-imposed limitations and limiting notions about what we can become and the contributions we can make. Most of us realize this and do make attempts from time to time to get out of the physical, psychological and spiritual ruts that keep us traveling along the same smooth, well-worn paths within our private comfortable universe. Unfortunately, most of our efforts to change go nowhere and wind up fueling our fears that change will be for the worse, not for the better. This failure to launch and consummate change serves to reinforce our pessimistic attitude toward it and harden our perception of the world as being antagonistic to our self-interests.
